Rotterdam Meets London, Barbican, Sat 14 Nov 4.30 & 6pm.

Please join me to listen to artists from Rotterdam, London and South Africa coming together for a free foyer concert celebrating exchange, collaboration and new connections across three vibrant music scenes.

Bringing together artists from all three scenes on the FreeStage, this free concert celebrates the creativity, diversity and shared energy of contemporary jazz, showcasing emerging and established musicians, with live sets, new collaborations and opportunities for artists to meet, share ideas and build lasting connections.

This edition brings together alumni of Take Five (Serious) and Tomorrow’s Warriors, two UK talent development organisations, alongside artists from Rotterdam and South Africa. The concert is part of a wider exchange led by House of Knowledge, supporting artists through mentorship, performance, cross-border collaboration and community-led learning.
